LIVINGSTON | The University of West Alabama men’s and women’s basketball teams begin the second half of the Gulf South Conference round-robin schedule tonight, hosting Shorter.

Tickets are $5 at the door, $3 for students.

The UWA women are looking to snap a four-game losing streak against a Lady Hawks team that defeated the Tigers, 56-53, Nov. 29 in Rome, Ga. Injuries have limited West Alabama, with coach Craig Roden’s top eight players missing a combined total of 34 games.

After missing three games in January with a foot injury, forward Brittany Weathers is slowly returning to being a force in the UWA lineup. Weathers leads the Gulf South and is fourth in the nation in scoring at 21.4 points per game.
